Thanksgiving is the perfect time for family, food, and spending hours on the couch watching TV after dinner. This year, just in time for the start of the holidays with your annual food coma, you can score an early bird Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal on Hulu, our favorite streaming service for the general TV lover. Now through next Tuesday, new and eligible subscribers (those whose email address has not been used for a Hulu account in at least a month) can get an ad-supported Hulu subscription for just $0.99 per month for 12 months. That’s $12 for the entire year to stream shows like The Golden Bachelor and The Bear — aka two of the shows you should definitely show your grandma on Thanksgiving!
Ahead of the holidays, Hulu is also offering a huge discount on its Starz on Hulu add-on. For the first six months, you can get Starz on Hulu — normally a duo for $18 per month — for just an extra $0.99 per month. That means that for just $2, you’ll get tons of movies that you can currently only stream on Starz, as well as access to almost every great Thanksgiving TV episode, just in time for the Turkey crash.

A basic, ad-supported Hulu subscription typically costs $8 per month. However, if you sign up during the Hulu Cyber Week sale, you can get Hulu for just $1 per month. While the service now offers great packages like the Disney+ trio or the Hulu Live TV series, classic Hulu is a great subscription for any TV fan. For just $12 per year, you get access to great Hulu originals like Normal People, The Handmaid’s Tale, Only Murders in the Building, and The Great, as well as all FX shows like Justified: City Primeval, The Bear, and the new Series A Murder at the end of the world.
In addition to original Hulu shows and movies, Hulu lets you stream a variety of TV shows the day after they air, including every Bachelor show and popular Fox series like Bob’s Burgers and Kitchen Nightmares. You can also get six months of the Starz on Hulu add-on for just $1 more per month and get Starz exclusives like Gaslit, Men in Kilts, Shining Vale and Outlander.

Why is this a good Black Friday deal?
Anyone who streams anything these days knows that streaming platforms rarely (if ever, *cough* Netflix *cough*) have sales. But the Hulu Cyber Week Sale isn’t just a literally once-a-year event, it also offers you savings of up to $84 for an entire year (or $7 per month), which in this day and age streaming costs seem particularly important.
And if you want to add more movies (and even a few shows) to the mix, you can also add Hulu’s Starz add-on for six months for an additional $0.99 per month. Starz brings you classic Christmas movies like Home Alone and Home Alone 2, as well as new series like Party Down and Shining Vale. Starz on Hulu normally costs $17.98 per month, but for six months you can score both Hulu and Starz for just $2.

You’ll definitely want Hulu if you’re interested in keeping up with new and trending shows (and The Kardashians!). Not only do you get access to Hulu originals like Black Cake, Quiz Lady, and Faraway Downs, but also FX shows like The Bear (a perfect Thanksgiving show), What We Do in the Shadows, and A Murder at the End of the World . And when you add Starz, you get even more shows like Minx, Gaslit, P-Valley and Outlander.
Hulu was also our top streaming choice for TV junkies in our 2023 ranking of the best streaming services for TV, movies, sports, and more.
